[0034] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0035] like Figure 2 、 3 As shown, the storage device proposed in the present invention can be applied to refrigeration equipment, including but not limited to cold storage. Specifically, the storage device includes: a refrigeration compartment 1, a functional module 2, and a movable mechanism 3. The refrigeration compartment 1 is used to store items, including vegetables, fruits, and other foods. The functional module 2 is installed in the refrigeration compartment 1 and includes a sterilization module 21 and / or a humidification module 22. The movable mechanism 3 is installed between the functional module 2 and the refrigeration compartment 1. The movable mechanism 3 is used to propel the functional module back and forth within the refrigeration compartment 1 to reduce dead angles within the compartment, increase the functional module's active area, and optimize the storage quality of the items.

[0036] The food is prone to breed bacteria, mold and other microorganisms during storage, resulting in food deterioration, corruption, and even production of toxic and harmful substances. The sterilization module can effectively prevent such conditions. The sterilization module 21 can effectively kill or inhibit the growth of these microorganisms, prolong the shelf life of the food, and ensure the safety of the food. Common sterilization modules 21 include ultraviolet sterilization modules, ozone sterilization modules, etc. Taking the ultraviolet sterilization module as an example, it includes an ultraviolet light source and a reflector. The ultraviolet light source usually uses an ultraviolet lamp or an LED lamp bead to convert electrical energy into light energy, emitting ultraviolet light with sterilization effect. The reflector fully reflects the ultraviolet light, increases the intensity and effective range of the ultraviolet light, and thus improves the disinfection efficiency.

[0037] In the refrigeration chamber 1, the moisture in the air is prone to condense into frost or ice due to the low temperature, resulting in a decrease in humidity. The humidification module 22 can effectively prevent such conditions and maintain the humidity in the chamber within a suitable range to maintain the freshness and taste of the food. The humidification module 22 usually includes a water tank, a water pump, and an atomizer. The water tank is used to store the water required for humidification. The water pump is responsible for pumping water from the water tank to the atomizer. The atomizer converts the water pumped by the water pump into tiny water mist particles and releases them into the air, thereby increasing the humidity in the refrigeration chamber 1.

[0038] It should be understood that the sterilization module and the humidification module are mature existing technologies. In actual application, the humidification module and the sterilization module can be selected according to specific needs, and the structure and type of the humidification module and the sterilization module are not specially limited in the utility model.

[0039] As shown in Figure 2 , 3 In the preferred embodiment of the utility model, the functional module 2 includes a sterilization module 21 and a humidification module 22. The sterilization module 21 and the humidification module 22 are both installed on the moving mechanism 3, and the moving mechanism 3 is used to push the sterilization module 21 and the humidification module 22 to move synchronously.

[0040] When any one of the sterilization module 21 and the humidification module 22 is turned on, the moving mechanism 3 starts to work and pushes the sterilization module 21 and the humidification module 22 to move back and forth in the refrigeration chamber 1. In particular, when both the sterilization module 21 and the humidification module 22 are turned on, they can simultaneously perform humidification and sterilization operations in the refrigeration chamber 1, thereby accelerating the adjustment efficiency and rapidly achieving the target storage conditions in the refrigeration chamber 1.

[0041] As shown in Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the mobile mechanism 3 is located on the inner top surface of the refrigeration compartment 1, and the functional module 2 is installed below the mobile mechanism 3. This design places the mobile mechanism 3 and the functional module on the top of the refrigeration compartment 1 to avoid occupying storage space. In addition, the suspended humidification module 22 can more effectively utilize air flow to distribute moisture, and the irradiation range of the sterilization module 21 can also cover the entire refrigeration compartment 1.

[0042] For ease of understanding, Figure 4 As shown, in some feasible embodiments of the present invention, the moving mechanism 3 includes: at least one slide rail and a slider movably mounted on the slide rail, and the functional module 2 is fixed to the slider. The coordinated design of the slide rail and the slider can achieve precise positioning of the functional module in the refrigeration room. The movement of the slider on the slide rail is smooth and continuous, which helps to ensure the stability and reliability of the functional module during movement.

[0043] In actual applications, the position of the functional module can be flexibly adjusted by pushing the slider on the slide rail through the power mechanism. The power mechanism includes a power source and a transmission component. For example, the power source is a motor, and the transmission component is a screw and a nut. The nut is sleeved on the screw, and the slider and the nut are connected as one. When the motor drives the screw to rotate, the nut drives the slider to move in a straight line along the screw.

[0044] The length of the slide rails can be designed according to the size and requirements of the refrigeration compartment 1, and the number and length of the slide rails can be increased to expand the scope of the functional module. Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the slide rails are arranged along the length direction of the refrigeration compartment 1, so that the functional module 2 can move freely along the entire length of the refrigeration compartment 1, thereby improving the uniformity of humidification and sterilization.

[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the storage device further includes a detection assembly and a controller. The detection assembly is located within the compartment and includes a sterilization sensor and / or humidity sensor 7 for detecting the bacterial content and humidity in the refrigeration compartment 1. Functional module 2 and the detection assembly should be arranged in a coordinated manner. When functional module 2 includes a sterilization module 21, the detection assembly includes a sterilization sensor; when functional module 2 includes a humidification module 22, the detection assembly includes a humidity sensor 7. The controller connects the detection assembly, functional module 2, and mobile mechanism 3 and controls the operating states of functional module 2 and mobile mechanism 3 based on detection data from the detection assembly.

[0046] The working process of the sterilization module 21 and the humidification module 22 is as follows:

[0047] In the stable operation process of the refrigeration system, the food in the storage device is stored in the refrigeration chamber 1 for a long time. In addition, the temperature and humidity in the refrigeration chamber 1 are suitable for the breeding of bacteria. When the sterilization sensor detects that the bacteria content exceeds the set value A, the controller starts the sterilization module 21 to sterilize the refrigeration chamber 1. The sterilization module 21 and the moving mechanism 3 are started at the same time. The sterilization module 21 moves back and forth along the slide rail repeatedly. The sterilization module 21 sterilizes all bacteria in the refrigeration chamber 1 without dead angle. When the sterilization sensor detects that the bacteria content is lower than the set value A, the controller closes the sterilization module 21 and the moving mechanism 3, and completes the sterilization operation.

[0048] In the stable operation process of the refrigeration system, the food in the storage device is stored in the refrigeration chamber 2 for a long time. Because the refrigeration system always supplies cold air to the room, the moisture on the surface of the food will be dried. When the humidity sensor 7 detects that the humidity in the refrigeration chamber 2 is lower than the set value B, the controller starts the humidification module 22 to humidify the refrigeration chamber 1. The humidification module 22 and the moving mechanism 3 are started at the same time. The humidification module 22 moves back and forth along the slide rail repeatedly. The humidification module 22 humidifies the refrigeration chamber 1 without dead angle. The humidity in the refrigeration chamber 1 is maintained within a certain range to prevent the moisture on the surface of the food from being dried. The freshness and taste of the food are maintained. Because the moving mechanism 3 works with the sterilization module 21, the sterilization module 21 can be started during the humidification process to synchronize the humidification and sterilization. When the humidity in the refrigeration chamber 1 is greater than the set value B, the controller closes the humidification module 22 and the moving mechanism 3, and completes the humidification operation.

[0049] In practical application, the working state of the sterilization module 21 and the humidification module 22 can also be controlled according to the working time. For example, when the bacteria in the refrigeration chamber 1 exceed the standard, the controller starts the sterilization module 21 and the moving mechanism 3, and stops after 10 minutes. At this time, the bacteria in the refrigeration chamber 1 can be completely killed. When the refrigeration chamber 1 is sterile but the humidity is low, the controller starts the humidification module 22 and the moving mechanism 3, and stops after 20 minutes. At this time, the humidity in the refrigeration chamber 1 can reach the humidity condition. The control logic of this control mode is simple, but the accuracy is low.

[0050] On the basis of the design of the sterilization module 2 in the storage device, the preferred solution is that the sterilization module 2 has multiple sterilization effects. Because the ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet lamp has a specific wavelength range, different wavelengths and intensities of ultraviolet light have different destruction abilities on microorganisms. Therefore, the selection of the wavelength range and intensity is based on the sterilization effect on microorganisms.

[0051] Specifically, the sterilization module 2 comprises: a bacteria ultraviolet lamp, a yeast ultraviolet lamp and a mold ultraviolet lamp, the bacteria ultraviolet lamp is used to kill bacteria, the ultraviolet light emitted by the bacteria ultraviolet lamp has a wavelength and intensity that can effectively kill bacteria, the yeast ultraviolet lamp is used to kill yeast, the ultraviolet light emitted by the yeast ultraviolet lamp can destroy the growth environment of yeast and inhibit the growth and reproduction of yeast, and the mold ultraviolet lamp is used to kill mold, and the ultraviolet light emitted by the mold ultraviolet lamp can effectively kill mold.

[0052] As shown in Figure 5 In order to facilitate the improvement of sterilization accuracy, each ultraviolet lamp works independently, and each ultraviolet lamp is provided with a corresponding sterilization sensor, that is, the bacteria ultraviolet lamp corresponds to the bacteria sensor 4, the yeast ultraviolet lamp corresponds to the yeast sensor 5, the mold ultraviolet lamp corresponds to the mold sensor 6, and the controller controls the working state of each ultraviolet lamp and the humidification module 3 according to the detection data of the sterilization sensor and the humidity sensor 7, so that the refrigeration chamber 1 reaches the suitable environmental conditions of sterile and constant humidity.

[0053] Taking the working process of the ultraviolet lamp as an example, generally, bacteria, yeast and mold exist in the refrigeration chamber 1, and under certain humidity conditions, they can grow and reproduce, and need to control the specific relationship between humidity and microbial content for disinfection, so as to achieve the suitable environmental conditions of sterile and constant humidity in the refrigeration chamber.

[0054] The set values of bacteria, yeast and mold are A1, A2 and A3 respectively, the humidity set values of bacteria, yeast and mold are B1, B2 and B3 respectively, the sensor detection values of bacteria, yeast and mold are C1, C2 and C3 respectively, and the sterile set value of the refrigeration chamber is C.

[0055] When C1 is greater than or equal to A1+B1÷δ1, δ1 represents a bacteria humidity conversion factor, the controller starts the bacteria ultraviolet lamp and the moving mechanism 3, and closes the humidification module 22, disinfects the refrigeration chamber 1, and after about 10 minutes, the bacteria in the refrigeration chamber 1 are disinfected, and when C1 is less than A1+B1÷δ1, the controller closes the bacteria ultraviolet lamp and the moving mechanism 3, and the refrigeration chamber 1 reaches a state without bacteria.

[0056] When C2 is greater than or equal to A2+B2÷δ2, δ2 represents a yeast humidity conversion factor, the controller starts the yeast ultraviolet lamp and the moving mechanism 3, and closes the humidification module 22, disinfects the refrigeration chamber 1, and after about 17 minutes, the yeast in the refrigeration chamber 1 is disinfected, and when C2 is less than A2+B2÷δ2, the controller closes the yeast ultraviolet lamp and the moving mechanism 3, and the refrigeration chamber 1 reaches a state without yeast.

[0057] When C3 is greater than or equal to A3+B3 divided by δ3, the controller turns on the mold ultraviolet lamp and the moving mechanism 3, turns off the humidifying module 22, and disinfects the refrigeration compartment 1, and after about 21 minutes, the mold in the refrigeration compartment 1 is completely disinfected; when C3 is less than A3+B3 divided by δ3, the controller turns off the mold ultraviolet lamp and the moving mechanism 3, and the refrigeration compartment 1 is in a mold-free state.

[0058] When C1+C2+C3 is less than or equal to C, the refrigeration compartment 1 is in a sterile state, C1, C2 and C3 can be independently controlled, or two of them can be simultaneously controlled, or all three of them can be simultaneously controlled, to realize automatic linkage and joint debugging.

[0059] The utility model also proposes refrigeration equipment, including refrigeration system, and above-mentioned storage device, refrigeration system supplies cold to refrigeration compartment. Specifically, the refrigeration system contains compressor, condenser, throttling device and evaporator, high temperature and high pressure refrigerant discharged by compressor enters condenser, and refrigerant exchanges heat with cooling medium (such as air or water), and cooling medium takes away the heat of refrigerant, makes it cool and condenses into high pressure normal temperature refrigerant liquid, and high pressure normal temperature refrigerant liquid passes through throttling device and throttles and depressurizes, and becomes low pressure low temperature refrigerant liquid, and low pressure low temperature refrigerant liquid enters evaporator, and refrigerant exchanges heat with air, and refrigerant liquid absorbs the heat of air, makes its temperature reduce, and the air after cooling is blown to refrigeration compartment, and refrigeration compartment maintains low temperature environment.
